(Music begins with a slow, gentle piano melody and a soft, distant pad synth)
(INTRO - Spoken, with a slight echo effect)
Blakk Pot...
To the one who wears a smile like a shield,
And carries a weight that the world cannot see...
This is for you.
Blakk Pot... Let the healing begin.
(VERSE 1)
Another morning breaks, another mask I place
Paint the perfect smile across my face
They see the light, they never see the rain
The silent battle fought behind the strain
My heart's a battlefield, a scattered, broken glass
But I walk on, I let the moment pass
I laugh and joke, I play the chosen part
While something's dying deep within my heart
(PRE-CHORUS)
But the world keeps turning, and I can't fall behind
So I push the hurt away, keep it all confined
But I know there's a Healer, a witness to my pain
Who sees me in the dark, and calls my name
(CHORUS)
We're a lot of us broken, but we still know how to smile
We hide our tears behind the sun for a little while
Underneath the laughter, there's a secret that we keep
But He sees every teardrop, and He knows we're in too deep
So may the God of comfort, find you where you are
And wipe away the tears from every silent scar
Oh, He'll heal the broken, He'll mend the heart that's torn
Until the morning joy is finally born
(VERSE 2)
It's in the quiet moments when the smile fades away
That the loneliness and hurt begin to hold their sway
We hold onto the hope that’s often hard to find
When peace is just a ghost that’s always left behind
But surrender is a whisper, a cry into the void
"For the strength I'm lacking, oh Lord, please be employed"
To turn my broken pieces, make them something new
A masterpiece of mercy, born from what I’ve been through
(PRE-CHORUS)
And the world keeps turning, but I will not despair
For I know the Great Physician hears my every prayer
And He's mending every fracture, the ones I cannot see
He's making all things new, He's setting me free
(CHORUS)
We're a lot of us broken, but we still know how to smile
We hide our tears behind the sun for a little while
Underneath the laughter, there's a secret that we keep
But He sees every teardrop, and He knows we're in too deep
So may the God of comfort, find you where you are
And wipe away the tears from every silent scar
Oh, He'll heal the broken, He'll mend the heart that's torn
Until the morning joy is finally born
(BRIDGE - Music swells with a fuller arrangement, choir-like backing vocals)
Oh, let His mercy fall like rain
Wash away the hurt and shame
For every soul that's bruised and worn
A new beginning will be born
He is close to the brokenhearted
A safe refuge for the soul
His love will never depart
He's making us completely whole
(OUTRO - Music softens, returning to the gentle piano and pad synth from the intro. Spoken, warm and direct)
Blakk Pot...
So let the smile be real,
And let the tears be known.
You are not forgotten.
You are deeply, deeply loved.
Blakk Pot...
And may you find your peace.
